Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
While the salmon is resting, prepare any vegetables to plan to add to the sandwich. Sliced cucumber, sliced jalapeno, pickled onions etc...set the vegetables aside.
Combine the spicy creamy sauce in a small mixing bowl. Set aside or cover and refrigerate it if you’re not using it for a while.
Combine the blackening spice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Prepare the Salmon:
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel on all sides and remove any pin bones. Leave the skin on.
Season the salmon with the blackening spice mix.
Heat avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
Once hot, add the salmon to the pan meat side down. Sear for 5-6 minutes per side, only flipping once. If the salmon is getting too dark, reduce the heat.
This will give you a medium – medium well temperature on the salmon. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest. Option to remove the skin. Gently flake the salmon into large pieces using a fork or spatula. The salmon will resemble pulled pork or chicken. Set aside.

Next, lightly butter the inside of your buns and toast the buns in a hot pan.
Once they are golden brown, remove them from the pan.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Add about 4 ounces of pulled salmon to each of the bottom buns.
Layer on the sliced cucumber, sliced jalapeno, arugula salad, pickled onions and sliced avocado.
Top with a drizzle of spicy creamy sauce. Add the top bun and enjoy.
